Embracing the shift to media workflow virtualization, and enabling hardware acceleration of software video processing algorithms, Alveo U30 adaptable accelerator cards provide an ideal platform for development and deployment of a wide range of streaming applications.

The Alveo U30 media accelerator card provides the industry’s highest channel density, lowest cost per channel, and lowest power consumption for live video streaming workloads. When coupled with Video Software Developers Kit (SDK) from AMD the solution provides a production-ready platform for live streaming providers to benefit from AMD hardware acceleration with standards-based FFmpeg, GStreamer and APIs.

The U30 is available for live video transcoding in the cloud over Amazon EC2 VT1 instances or as a preconfigured appliance for on-premises deployment from our partners.

High Channel-Density at Low Latency

• Accelerate the entire video pipeline to optimize for cost-per-stream at transcode latencies as low as 8ms

Optimal Video Quality at Reduced Bandwidth

• High compression efficiency and ABR scaling lowers bandwidth cost with optimal video quality

Cost-Effectively Scale Interactive Media Applications

• Scale to more users and content creators by maximizing streams per server and controlling bandwidth and power expenses

 

Alveo U30 Features

• Small footprint – half-height, half-length


• Low power ~18-25W typical


• High density media processing: 112 x 1080p30 transcodes in real-time on a single appliance populated with 7 x Alveo U30 accelerators


• HEVC (H.265), H.264 (AVC) & Adaptive Bit Rate (ABR) Scaling


• Supports video resolutions from 128x128 to 3840x2160


• Simultaneous decoding, scaling and encoding of up to 46 streams with max aggregated bandwidth of 2X4Kp60 per card


• Faster-than-Real-Time (FTRT) feature enables a 60 minute 1080p60 quality video to be transcoded in 20 minutes on a single U30 accelerator


• Xilinx Resource Manager (XRM) enables multiple video processing jobs to run across multiple Alveo U30 cards for seamless workload scaling Seamless FFmpeg, GStreamer and API integration

A SAN, a NAS, or both at the same time. EVO is made for online, real-time use with leading applications such as Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Scratch, and Pro Tools. The EVO shared storage workflow server gives professional media creation teams total flexibility with built-in SAN and NAS, easy-to-use ShareBrowser MAM, more connectivity, more capacity, enhanced features like automatic project file locking, project/bin sharing, asset tagging, cloud integration, and LDAP/AD.

• It’s incredibly fast, easily expandable, and its flexibility is unmatched.


• Workflow Project sharing, bin sharing, file sharing, SAN & NAS for professional media applications.


• Connectivity Enough ports to directly connect every computer in your workgroup.


• Performance High throughput, with overhead for the most demanding projects and 6K video workloads.


• Expansion Ready for more capacity and direct-connect network ports as your business continues to grow.

With EVO, you can connect and share everything — you’ll spend less and still get better performance. EVO is purpose-built for digital media workflows and demanding use with the leading pro apps like Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro/FCP X, Adobe Premiere Pro/CC, and DaVinci Resolve. When it comes to projectsharing, you can use Avid’s native Project and Bin sharing functions, and take advantage of EVO’s unique project sharing features for FCPX and Adobe Premiere Pro. EVO unlocks the sharing capabilities of Media Composer — with several editors in the same Avid project, teams can easily collaborate by using shared Bins, exchanging access to Media and Sequences directly within Media Composer. You also can Enjoy the flexibility and performance of both file and volume sharing. EVO enables you to use file sharing, volume sharing, or a combination of the two — providing multi-user write workspaces for sharing projects and bins, in addition to high performance SAN volumes for multi-cam and uncompressed workflows.

EVO is designed and built to make your production life easier, which means you get purpose built features like Slingshot and ShareBrowser. With Slingshot, an Automations GUI and API, you can create and run automated file workflows that span EVO, other storage systems, and Amazon S3/Glacier cloud services. Slingshot helps boost productivity by enabling you to automate repetitive file management tasks, leaving you and your team with more valuable time in post. ShareBrowser is an Easy-to-Use, unified file/project/asset management interface for macOS and Windows. It is similar to Finder/Explorer, but designed by SNS specifically to help media teams work and collaborate more efficiently. The ShareBrowser Desktop Client not only improves visibility and access to your team’s storage systems, it conveniently enables automatic project locking for FCP, Premiere Pro, and Pro Tools — as well as Avid project and bin sharing. enables your team to search across all EVO storage as well as local, offline, and other network disks. Assets and custom metadata like tags and comments can be instantly added to anything in the shared database. This means your team can more easily find, preview, and share important media and projects - and now, it's also available in a free web-app to make collaboration even easier.

Where’s the best place to open a new facility?

In the current landscape, the answer is: wherever it’s needed.

Remote working is becoming more important. Editing and grading on location is commonplace. Major projects are shuttled between multiple continents depending on what stage of post they’ve reached. All this means your team need access to resources from more locations than ever before, in more locations than ever before, making cloud applications and storage critical to your success.

Our Via24 cloud services are designed to give your team access to the cloud applications, storage and high speed file transfers that you need. Our experienced networking and infrastructure team can ensure your media is where it needs to be, delivered securely and managed effectively within your storage hierarchy. Whatever you need to achieve, we can help design and support a sustainable cloud workflow that keeps you ahead of the competition, regardless of location.
